Working, Taxes and Social Security
I have many questions that I desperately need to be answered. I appreciate any input. When considering an answer to my question please keep in mind that I would work in New York City.- I was told that any "decent" stripclub any one wants to work at will require a new dancer to bring in a state ID and social security card. Is this true? I would prefer to be off the books. I don't want any record of me dancing because I one day hope to work a government job and if a background search is done on me I wouldn't want this to pop up.
- I was also told that if someone works off the books they can somehow fill out tax forms and gain back refund for items purchased such as shoes and make up, is this true?

If you're worried about stripping ruining your chances of obtaining a security clearance, it won't. Government agencies care about any debt you have, any criminal activity you were convicted of, drug use, etc. However, lying about any part of your past during a background check is the best way to blow it. If you lie and are caught, you definitely won't get the job and you can be prosecuted for perjury and all kinds of ugly shit. Anyway, stripping is a legal job, you have nothing to hide.

It maybe a legal job but people still look down on those who do it.

Just found this thread. I was wondering the same thing. So far showing my state ID to clubs has not affected me, but I am skeptical about giving clubs info like my social. I haven't done a background check on myself yet, but when I looked at my credit report a while back I didn't see anything that was suspicious. I vaguely remember seeing Target listed as a place that I've worked a few years ago, but nothing related to dancing.

Apparently people can even lose their professional licenses if they are caught stripping or doing some other kind of sex work, which can vary from state to state.
This is a story about a lawyer who got punished for being a dominatrix:

And this one regards nursing licenses. Apparently camming can get a nurse to lose her license to practice in her state:
